I've been using the SteelSeries Arctis 5 as my main headset on my PC since getting them a few weeks back, and frankly, I don't see myself going back to my far more expensive Astros. This headset fits, keeps my hair from being a mess, d... read

Final Fantasy XV is out soon, but all of my attention has been on this year's Final Fantasy little brother, World of Final Fantasy. Despite that it isn't part of the main series and its central mechanic is monster collecting, it feels very ... read

When Steins;Gate 0 was first announced, I have to admit that I was a little hesitant. After all, the first Steins;Gate is undoubtedly one of the best visual novels to get an English localization. Not only that, but it did a g... read

Is this a new record for Telltale?
Tales from the Borderlands, one of the most extreme ends of the episodic release spectrum, took nearly a year to conclude. But with Batman we're already on the fourth episode in just three short months.
I ... read

I wasn't really on board with many of the waggle-fests that littered the Wii's library both at launch and near the end of its life. Many titles just felt like an excuse to sell more Wiimotes, and don't even get me started on the Motion Plus... read

Ever since I started playing a couple of Nihon Falcom’s games last year, I became a huge fan of the studio in a matter of seconds. From the Ys series’ fast-paced combat to The Legend of Heroes titles’ world-building aspect... read

Over the last year and a half, I've been playing a ton of Killing Floor 2 (just under 400 hours) during its time on Steam Early Access. It's an in-staff joke at this point: if news about the game pops up, the team knows I want to read it an... read

Kingston, more known for products like memory and SSDs, is a relative newcomer to the PC gaming hardware scene. Earlier this year, Patrick reviewed the HyperX Cloud Revolver Headset and came away fairly impressed. The company recently ... read

Though my interest in Pokémon has waned, I'll always be a fan at heart, curious to see where the series goes next and dream about what form it might one day take far into the future.
The original games and ensuing multimedia craze la... read

Even though the "reading under the covers" stereotype sounds like it belongs in the movies, that's what I did with Pokemon Red with a Game Boy snake light growing up. Throughout the years as I grew, Pokemon mostly stayed the same ... read

Crytek's dinosaur adventure Robinson: The Journey has the trappings of a compelling VR experience.
You play as a young boy, Robin, the seeming sole survivor of a planned colonization effort on a distant planet that's brimming with exotic fl... read

Not much has changed since my first few hours in the world of Dishonored 2, and that's mostly a good thing.
Beyond some problems with the general choppiness of the console version, Corvo and Emily have proven that they're a pair worth revis... read

Since releasing in 2014, Ubisoft's Watch Dogs has meant something different to almost everyone who played it. Though the open-world hack-a-thon is often critiqued for lacking personality and the graphical downgrade debacle, it sti... read

Something terrible has happened to our children in the last decade and we haven't even noticed or cared. The characters and cartoons they love have been turned into awful cash-in video games that don't even bother to get basic details corre... read

How very fitting for me, that for my first ever review on Destructoid, I would be taking a swing at a Senran Kagura title. I actually first learned about the series right here at Destructoid, and have since become a fan for its fun gameplay... read

Mario Party: Star Rush let me experience something special that is hard to find these days: I got to watch a friend play their first Mario Party while getting console-throwing enraged. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, so for... read

For the last three weeks I've been on a deep dive with Disney Magical World 2 for the Nintendo 3DS. I've been dressing up in frilly outfits, interacting with cartoonish renditions of popular Disney characters, and running the world's m... read

Super Rad Raygun is a game I’ve been following for a little while. I first saw it as plain old Rad Raygun at SGC 2013. It was sporting a Game Boy aesthetic and had gameplay reminiscent of Mega Man. It was a fun little title that wasn&... read

Pretty much everyone remembers the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Even if you didn't play it, many of your friends probably did, and although GoldenEye 64 and Halo had popularized console shooters far before it, it rea... read

There was once a time when 2D games were the tentpole releases that companies pumped out to make the big bucks. Those days are long gone, but the sidescrollers live on and are a staple in today's landscape thanks to indie developers. The in... read

When something hits that zeitgeist nerve, it creates an "us versus them" mentality where participants who haven't even experienced something take sides. To avoid the stampede of rote "why [x government] is like Hogwarts or Westeros" think-p... read

As I made my way through the world of Skyrim last week, a familiar feeling set in -- my quest isn't as joyous when I'm taking the critical path.
No, like most Bethesda games, the stories that you create on your own by doing random dumb acts... read

The NES was the first console I ever owned. Somehow I had saved holiday and birthday money for over a year to get it (the idea may have been planted by a family member) at five years old, and although I don't remember every detail of that p... read

I can't help but think that living in a world where entertainment is readily available without the tether of actual physical media has made analog devices retroactively desirable once again. There's something powerful about the physicality ... read

We’ve become very use to iterative changes in our shooters. The annual release schedule of the biggest series combined with the typically risk averse nature of major studios means we’re generally treated to small changes in ever... read
